Unattended XP Install...working on it


Recommended Posts

New to the forum but I've been looking around trying to get my answer file tweaked the way I want it.

2 problems:

1) I would like it to not ask me what partition to install on.... just delete the C: partition / format NTFS Quick / and use that

2) Skip the Welcome to XP...next..next...next screen

Any thoughts would be appreciated:

Here is my winni.sif file:

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]

AutoPartition=0

MsDosInitiated="0"

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

AutomaticUpdates="Yes"

[unattended]

UnattendMode=FullUnattended

First of all, remove your product key from your posting!

Add the following to your WINNT.SIF

[Data]
AutoPartition = 1
MsDosInitiated = 0
UnattendedInstall = Yes

[Unattended]
UnattendMode = FullUnattended
OemSkipEula = Yes
OemPreinstall = No
Repartition = Yes
UnattendSwitch = Yes

Also, replace the entry ProductID with ProductKey.

Hope this helped.

Did you do anything extra?

nLite, RyanVM, DriverPacks?

Did you use questionable media? Questionable is a broad definition, I use junky Staples brand Playo discs and they work just fine, so it generally won't make a difference, but, I have had random DVDs in the bunch give me errors.

I'd try using the ISO and run a virtual machine & see if it works on there.
